The Haymaker 


Coming through a meadow is a French peasant girl, 
in a simple working garb of blue and red. Over her 


shoulder she carries a rake, and with her right hand 
holds up her apron, which is full of hay, some of it 
straggling down as she walks along. About her head 
is a blue handkerchief, and she turns her face to the 
left with a far-away expression. The gray sky is opal- 


escent in quality, and the picture, a characteristic — 


example, is full of light. 


Height, 13 inches ; width, 10 inches.

Dance of Cupids 


A laughing, dancing group of cupids is presented in 
this admirably arranged composition, and the nude 
figures are full of action and grace. A beautiful land- 
scape, with trees, distant hills, and sky, makes a fitting 
environment for the festive scene. The figures are 
effectively disposed in various interesting attitudes, 
a chain of dancers passing under the extended arms of 
the two principal figures. The flesh painting is rich 
and luminous, and the drawing most able. Albani 
was a fellow pupil with Guidi Reni, at Bologna, under 
Carracci. The Duke of Mantua invited him to his 
court, where he painted several pictures. Lanzi called 


>? 


him “‘ The Anacreon of painting,’’ and his pictures 
may be seen at the galleries of Bologna, Dresden, 
Florence, Milan, Paris, Rome, St. Petersburg, and 
Turin.

Portrait of Mrs. Newdigate 


Hudson was the master of Sir Joshua Reynolds, 
and enjoyed considerable patronage among the gentry 
of his day, having a fashionable clzentéle in London. 

A lady in an evening robe of white satin, cut low 
and trimmed with lace, is represented in this portrait. 
Flowing from her shoulders is a wrap of pale blue silk. 
The hair, of dark brown, is dressed severely off the 
forehead and falls down the neck. The face is bright 
and of brilliant coloring. 


Height, 29 inches ; width, 24 inches.

FERDINAND ROYBE :

or fo Officer of the King’s Guar 


Much after the vigorous, broad manner of the older 
masters, Roybet delineates in this canvas a swarthy, 
figure in dark dress, wearing a great ruff and a broad- 
brimmed hat. The work is subdued, the flesh tones 
making almost the highest notes in the picture. The 
painting is suavely executed with consummate skill, 
the artist being one of the ‘best technically equipped 
men of the day.

Portrait of Canova, the Italian Sculptor 


In this portrait of the distinguished Italian sculptor, 
Antonio Canova, one of the most successful and popu- 
lar artists of his time, Lawrence has represented him 
with a handsome, youthful, and alertly intelligent 
face, wearing a luxuriant dressing-gown of the prevail- 
ing mode, of red velvet, trimmed with fur. He re- 
clines in a chair in front of a-brown wall, against which 
is draped acurtain of red. <A white shirt, with negligée 
collar, is disclosed under the house robe. Dark curling 
hair, a smooth face, and piercing black eyes full of ani- 
mation and fire, proclaim distinctly the man of genius 
and the artist, all making for an attractive personality. 
Napoleon did his best to induce Canova to settle in » 

_ France, but the sculptor remained true to his country, 
and was successful in obtaining the decree for the res- 
toration of the treasures which Napoleon had taken 
from Rome. It is quite evident that Lawrence painted 
this portrait con amore. In every touch there is en- 
thusiasm, and the example is thoroughly represent- 
ative of his skill and artistic feeling. 

Lawrence was painter in ordinary to the king, and 
painted many of the most distinguished people of his 


time, and at the death of Reynolds was unanimously 
elected to the presidency of the Royal Academy. 


Height, 36 inches ; width, 28 inches. 


From the collection of the Countess of Lindsay.

Landscape 


In quite remarkable detail, and with excellent dis- 
position of the greens, a clearing in the woodland 
is represented here, showing an old house in front of 
which are two figures. The drawing of tree forms is 
masterly, and through an alley of trees the sense of 
distance is well expressed. Sheep and cattle wander 
through the landscape, and a dog plays on a roadway. 
A beautiful sky sends out brilliant light, flooding the 
picture with a warm glow. Born in Gréningen, this 
artist made a particular study of Hobbema, Ruisdael, 
and Wynants, and his pictures closely approach the 
manner and taste of those great masters. He left 
ason, Jan, of great talent. 


Height, 34 inches; length, 48 inches.

Bare trees, with rooks settled upon them, and a 
bleak moorland, with pale blue distance, go to make 
up this interesting composition, in the foreground 
of which are figures. Other rooks circle in the sky, 
which is full of luminous clouds, causing an admirable 
play of light and shade over the picture. In the mid- 
dle distance appears a stream, and to the side a hill, 
warmed into bright yellow tints by the sun. 

Linnell, the son of a wood carver, adopted the 
career of painting by the advice of Benjamin West, 
and, although he was a painter of portraits, is bet- 
ter known by his landscapes. 


Height, 30 inches; length, 40 inches.

Landscape in Sussex 


Unusual in its originality, this composition gives a 
powerful landscape arrangement of great trees against 
a stirring sky. One enormous oak to the right throws

This realistic Dutch winter scene shows the river 
entirely frozen over and covered with skaters. Along 
the bank are picturesque old houses and windmills 
partly covered with snow. The city, with its spires 
and roofs, stretches away in the distance, and a won-

cloud forms. Much character is shown in the many 
figures, full of movement and color. Pictures of sim-

John Wilson, the Scottish marine and landscape 
painter, was born near Ayr, and is familiarly referred 
to as‘‘ Jock Wilson.’’ His father, one of the founders 
of the Society of British Artists, apprenticed him to 
a decorator. Later he received instruction from Alex- 
ander Nasmyth, and painted in London. 

This view of sea dashing up against piled-up masses 
of red rock is admirably rendered. The water is full 
of movement, the rocks strongly constructed, and the 
sky has been painted with knowledge and assurance.

With her head resting upon her hand, the whe 
turned towards a window draped with green curtains, 
a young lady is seen seated on a sofa. She is robed 
in a handsome gown of white satin that leaves her fair 
white neck and shoulders exposed. A handsome chain 
of jewels falls on her lap, and in her hand she holds 
a handkerchief. On the floor beside her lies a lute, 
while on a table is a vase. 

This genre work represents an interesting phase of 
the art of the early Victorian epoch, of which Parris 
was a notable figure. For, having been appointed 
historical painter to Queen Adelaide in 1838, he was 
in 1839 commissioned to paint the coronation of Queen 
Victoria, having also made a portrait of her, both of 
which canvases are well known through engravings.

Dressed in a costume of brown, and wearing a hat 
of similar color, with drooping plumes, is a charming 
young woman. The gown is cut low, and at the 
breast is a blue ribbon in a knot. About her neck 
is a string of pearls. Her hair is drawn off her fore- 
head and falls, curling, about her neck. 

The daughter of a Swiss painter, this artist was most 
precocious, at eleven years of age making capital por- 
traits. In 1769 she was nominated one of the founda- 
tion members of the Royal Academy. She decorated 
a room for the queen, at Frogmore, still called ‘‘ the 
Flower Room.’’ It was said in London, at the time, 
that the great Sir Joshua Reynolds was enamored of 
the charms of Angelica Kauffmann, and it is certain 
that a warm friendship existed between the two.

Over a stretch of flat-lying country is seen a vista 
of landscape, dotted here and there with windmills. 
A quiet stream comes up to a lock in the left fore- 
ground, and to the right are some great trees, with 
a quaint, red-tiled house. Cattle graze to the left, 
and beyond are more houses, with trees. The fore- 
ground is in shadow, the sun lighting the fields here 
and there. A sky of much bDrilliancy is full of cloud 
forms, and a storm approaches along the horizon to

One of the most distinguished of the painters of 
Venice, Canaletto lived for a while in London; but 
he is identified with the city he painted so well, where 
he eventually died. A great number of his works are 
in the National Gallery of London, and at Windsor. 

The view in this canvas is typical of the place, show- 
ing palaces and a bridge, with many gondolas full of 
people. The architecture is carefully drawn, and the 
detail is most interesting. A deep blue sky accentu- 
ates the brightness of light on stuccoed walls.

As professor of painting at the Royal Academy, he

Jeune Femme Cueillante des Fleurs 


Standing by a trellis, to the right of the composi-

is a young woman gathering flowers. She wears a 
dark dress, with white collar and sleeves. Masses of 
many-tinted flowers trail over the lattice, making 
bright notes, and everywhere the painting is broad 
and vigorous, thoroughly characteristic of this artist. 

The great realist had a stormy existence, being finally 
banished from France for his participation in the Com- 
mune. Rejected by the Salon in Paris, regarded by 
the powers as an anarchist in art, he held a special 
exhibition at the Exposition of 1855, and in Munich 
had a salon to himself. But he had many partisans, 
and since his death has been estimated at his true 


worth. Several of his most important works are now 


in the Louvre.

A full-length and life-size portrait of the great noble-

a man of middle age, attired in a suit of black with a 
white ruff and cuffs. Holding in one hand a letter, 
and in the other, which is gloved, a silver wand, with 
an order suspended from the blue ribbon at his neck, 
the duke is standing by a pillar, on the base of which 
rests his right arm. To the right is a curtain of hand- 
some stuff, and on the floor is an oriental rug of dec- 
orative design. The thin hair is rather gray, and a 
pointed beard is of the fashion of the day. Painted 
in masterly style, the work has all the dignity and 
refinement of the great Fleming, and is thoroughly 
representative. 

Such pictures as this Van Dyck painted for royalty 
and the great nobles of the court of Charles, and of 
other monarchs. He was knighted by the English 
king, made court painter, and given a life annuity. 
His success was stupendous during his short career, 
for he died at the age of forty-two years.

Most dignified and effective is this three-quarter

The curls of a black wig cluster around his temples,

Coming to England on the invitation of King Charles 
II., De Baen painted the king and many people of his 
court, and later, from motives of patriotism, declined

Investing an old theme with charm and significance, 
the artist represents here a peasant mother with sfzrz-

breast. She is dressed in a blue skirt and white waist, 
and her head is bent in loving admiration as she looks 
at the child, the light being admirably disposed on 
both figures. There is great detail in the matter of

Portrait of the Hon. Mrs. O’Neil 


Sir Martin Shee, upon the death of Lawrence in 
1830, was promoted to the presidency of the Royal 
Academy, which position he held up to the time of 
his death in 1850. One of his best portraits, that 
of Lewis, the famous actor, is now in the possession 
of the National Gallery. 

In this refined example of his work, a young woman 
of unusual beauty and charm is gracefully posed before 
a curtain, which, being draped about a pillar, discloses 
a pretty bit of landscape behind. The deep and 
thoughtful eyes gaze directly at the spectator. In her 
hair she wears a rose, and her dark curls cluster about 
her forehead. A décolleté Empire gown is girded with 
a yellow sash, and trimmed with lace. The right arm 
rests on the chair, while over the other is thrown a 
fine Persian shawl. The lights and shades are most 
carefully handled, and in all this is unmistakably a 


most charming example of this master’s work.

John the Baptist, Preaching 


In a wooded spot, the Baptist, with bare arms up- 
raised, stands preaching to an audience that includes 
many kinds of persons and curious diversities of cos- 
tume. One young man in Turkish dress is seated 
on a white horse. Another, in a white robe which 
shows bare back and legs, is half reclining on one arm. 
To the left, a youth in a long red mantle is lost in 
thought. A shepherd, a slave, and an old man are 
included in the party. The composition is brimful 
of interest, and the arrangement most able, the work 
being a rare example. 

The great Rembrandt studied for a while under 
Lastman, as did Jan Lievens. He was born at Ain-

Pupil of Pieter Lastman and a native of Hoorn, in 
Holland, this painter has portrayed here a little Dutch 
boy standing in a landscape, with a dog at his side. 
He wears a little gray coat, from the brown cuffs of 
which peep out white sleeves. A white lace tie falls 
over his chest, and on his head is a cocked hat. The 
light hair is banged in front and falls rather straight 
behind. One hand is on his hip, the other stoutly 
grasping a bamboo cane. A great tree is behind, and 
to the left appears a farmhouse under the drooping 


‘foliage. A mellow, warm tone pervades the canvas, 


and the detail is carefully wrought out.

First Duke of Marlborough and Family, 
With Allegorical Figures 


Beginning at the age of sixteen as a portrait painter, . 
Lairesse achieved a great reputation, was favored by 
royalty, and held in high esteem asa depicter of his- 
torical themes. His father, himself an artist of talent, 
gave the son a good education, and patronage came to 
him early. 

This portrait group, which is of an allegorical char- 
acter, contains five figures. The duke, his wife, and 
young son are clad in Roman costumes, a gray mantle 
falling gracefully over Marlborough’s shoulders. He 
wears a curly wig and is seated in a great carved chair. 
The duchess, beside him, is arrayed in a robe of white 
and red, her neck and shoulders exposed. Near her 
the boy is gracefully posed, and from voluminous cur- 
tains in the background is seen a figure typifying vic- 
tory, which floats in the air with one hand raised over 
the head of the duke, in the act of crowning him. A 
little cupid with dimpled arms brings the main figures 
together, and in the immediate foreground a spaniel 
leaps up.

Born 1605. A well-known loyalist in the civil wars, who had

Born at The Hague, at the end of the sixteenth cen- 
tury, Mytens came to England in the reign of James I., 
and later was appointed court painter to Charles I. 
He executed many portraits of distinguished people, 
until the arrival of Van Dyck caused his retirement to 
The Hague. 

_ This portrait discloses a sturdy-looking cavalier with 
curling mustache and goatee, who stands resting his 
hand on a table upon which lies a helmet with a red 
plume. A green cloth covers the table, and the shield 
lies at the foot. The man wears a broad white collar 
and cuffs, and over his leather doublet a red sash em- 
broidered with gold around his waist, and red trunks 
over the high russet, spurred boots. A leather strap 
holds the sword, on which rests his left hand. The 
picture is interestingly painted in great detail, yet 
broadly.

Portrait of Edward Montague 


Few of Kneller’s portraits have more charm of 
refinement and reserve than is possessed by this mod- 
est little canvas portraying the head of a man. Sur- 
mounted by brown wavy hair, the face is thoughtful, 
distinguished, and expressive, the features being regu- 
lar, the skin clear, and the look one of abiding honesty. 
It is rather that of some studious man of letters than 
of a courtier, and the simple, quiet costume of a gray 
gown and white tie bears out the theory. 

Kneller came of an ancient family of Lubeck, was 
a pupil of Bol, and finally became the favorite painter, 
as well as painter to the court, in England. All the 
patronage of a successful artist was his, and he enjoyed 
the greatest material prosperity. William III. knighted 
him in 1692, and George I. made him a baronet in 
1715. Ten sovereigns sat to him for their portraits.

Henriette, Duchess of Orléans 


With pathetic, high-born face, tender in its expres- 
siveness and refined in color, this noblewoman is de- 
picted in a beautiful gown of yellow satin, with superb 
lace about the neck and sleeves. She wears a string 
of pearls, and has similar jewels in her ears and hair. mI 
About her waist is a red ribbon, this being the only 
striking note of color. Painted in detail, the canvas 
has yet much subtlety and a great charm of sentiment. 

Taken into the service of James I. and of Charles I., 
Janssens painted a number of the leaders of the court 
in England, where he remained until 1648, when he 
returned to The Hague. Many of his pictures are 
in England.

Wending their way past a pond in the centre of the

foreground of this composition. To the right is seen 
a farmhouse with red roof, and to the left, on a hill, 
is a little group of houses. A willow tree is reflected 
in the water, and a tender sky of blue is filled with 
fleecy clouds. The coloring is of the pearly-gray qual- 
ity so much admired in Corot’s work, and the handling 
is facile and most artistic. 

At the height of his career, Corot is said to have 
made 200,000 francs a year by the sale of his work.

Across a moorland with high sand dunes on either 
side, a traveller makes his way on horseback, toward 
evening. A little hamlet is to the right, containing 
among the cluster of houses a traditional windmill, 
with its great arms against the evening sky. The 
heavens are filled with piled-up cumuli clouds, radiant 
with the light of the setting sun, and the shadow is 
thrown here and there over the landscape, making an 
interesting distribution of light and shade, the middle 
distance catching the warmth of the hour. It is a 
work of much feeling and eminently characteristic of 
the Holland country, being brushed in with breadth 
and spontaneity. 

Mr. Bogert, in 1898, was awarded the first Hallgar- 
ten prize; in the following year he received the Webb 
landscape prize, at the Society of American Artists, 
and last season he was given a silver medal, at the

With full, healthful color, ruddy cheeks, and alert

the head is an admirable example of this painter,

Son of a miller, Constable early showed a taste for 
art, but struggled long to obtain recognition, which 
came to him first from France, where his pictures

THE BAD SPIDER MONKEY. 


HIS EXPERIENCES IN A BOSTON DEN- 
TIST’S HOME. 


This monkey had no name. No name was bad 
enough for him, He was a very bad monkey, 
indeed—born bad. He is now out in Jamaica 
Plain, a part of Boston, with several other bad 
monkeys, being reformed by an animal trainer. 
And this is the story of how he came there. 

A dentist in Boston, who is a great lover of 
animals, went to the island of Jamaica a few 
weeks ago for a short vacation. In a little 
village there he met a native, who had just 
captured a spider monkey. The little monkey 
was less than three feet high, and thin as a 
rail, with arms and legs no bigger than a man’s 
thumb. -He had a black tuft of hair on his 
head that looked like the skullcaps bald men 
wear, a keen face and a perfect set of little 
white teeth, 

“What fun to fill those teeth some day,” the 
dentist said. “He is so small and thin that he 
can’t do any damage. I’ll take him home with 
me.” : 


So the monkey came to Boston. A nest was 


built for him on top of a bookcase in the library 


and all the callers and patients.who-.came to 
the dentist’s house said: ‘Oh, cS comming little

Raoux, a French painter of distinction, whose works 
are in the Louvre, obtained a prize at the Academy, 
and was sent to Italy with the king’s pension. He 
came to England for a while and was well received 
there, finding many patrons. 

A young and handsome woman in this canvas leans 
upon her dressing-table and with joyous countenance 
reads a letter. Her gown of modish make discloses 
a fair neck and shoulders, and the lighting is happily 
arranged. The work is in detail, and the accessories 
are agreeably rendered, the facial expression being 
admirably carried out.

Dressed in a demure gray gown, with a white ker- 
chief over her shoulders and her hair powdered, the

The distinguished actress is shown standing out of

Her hands are clasped, and the face, turned to the 
right, is full of expression. The bodice of white is 
caught by a jewelled pin with bands of pearls, others 
being fastened to the sleeves. A lace collar turns up 
about the neck, and over the face waving brown hair 
clusters in short curls. The landscape background 
consists of fine old trees and sky. 

Lawrence painted many of the prominent profes-

vases was of Fanny Kemble’s uncle, John Philip 
Kemble, as ‘* Rollo.’’

This portrait of a lady represents a beauty of her 
day, attractively gowned in light blue velvet, with 
dark hair and eyes, a smiling, intelligent face, and 
much grace of carriage. The robe is cut low, disclos- _

both breadth and detail. | 

Patronized by Queen Anne, who made him her ser- 
geant painter, Thornhill was knighted by George I., 
and was the first English painter to receive that dis- 
tinction. His daughter was clandestinely married to 
the artist Hogarth. Much of Thornhill’s work was of
